The Common Ground for Balloons

Hey pretties. I am so sorry about the lack of postings. All of a sudden I've become a busy A-lister...which I love. Anyway, I hope you all had a wondrous break/vacation thus far. Friday night I ended up hanging out with Corey. She and I had the best time. We were all over town; New York City was ours. We went from 116th Street and Lenox Ave to 86th Street and 7th Ave to 23rd Street and 6th Ave and finally 109th Street and Broadway. I had a little too much fun and ended up showing the world my "celebratory nature."
OH! Corey and I were at Chelsea Dog and this special lady came up to Corey and asked:
("Do you want these balloons?")
Being that we were having the time of our lives before balloon lady came, Corey responded (with a sassy-neck gesture): "Noo." The lady was shocked and replied "Oh...okay." Much to our surprise the lady tied the balloons to a phone booth...right outside of the Chlesea Dog restaurant. Corey and I were floored. (I have videos of this but my BlackBerry won't let me send it because the videos are too long. SASS!)

In addition to Friday's festivities, I met someone a couple days back and we decided to go out on Saturday evening. His name is Devin and he's amazing. We have sooooo much in common; we even have the same camera. Besides that he is an eloquent gentlemen and we spoke for hours, without the conversation dying. Devin is so A-List worthy, too.
Well to get into details we met at the Virgin Records, down at Union Square and immediately went to Republic. Republic is this inexpensive, chic Vietnamese restaurant that I love. It has the best food!

Devin never dined there so I decided there's no time like the present. He left very satisfied. After that we went to Starbucks, then walked from Union Square to Chinatown, conversing and not caring about anything but each other's voice. It was delightful.

Mircaculously enough we spotted a Pinkberry (this A-List yogurt hotspot) and we decided we weren't going to pass it up. I had fruity pebbles on mine and he had granola, almonds and captain crunch. The night was going along well until I saw William (the Pinkberry clerk) spelled my name wrong on the cup. My name read "Antoin" on the cup.

I tell ya, the sass never leaves me alone. Afterwards Devin and I decided to go to my house to watch "Sex and the City: The Movie." I'm so glad I can watch that with him and have him appreciate it as much as I.

With that being said let's get to the quote for today, January 5th:

"Never doubt yourself. Letting doubt into your thoughts contaminates your positive outlook on life. Believe in yourself and doors that were once closed will burst open, just for you."

I love you guys but I'm at work now. Oh! Here's a pic of my humble office.
(I love my life lol.)

I wish you the best of happiness and a spectacular day. Stay true pretties.

Peace, love & Obama,
Gabriel Anderson

You Think You Know People

Hello pretties. I have a lot of things to talk about. I apologize for postponing my posts until Jan 5th! Happy New Year! 2009 is here. Wooohuh! Anywho these are the topics I'll be dishing on:

• New Year's Eve and Papa John's
• Aaron and the rest of my New York friends
• Nick
• New Year's Resolution

New Year's Eve and Papa John's

I didn't have anything planned for New Year's Eve so I thought I should throw a party. And when I through parties, everyone goes home extremely satisfied.
I officially planned this party this past Sunday, December 28th, 2008. I sent out text message invites to my selected circle of friends. Unfortunately, some of my friends like to respectfully decline invites the day of the party. Before we get into the negative things of the night let's get into what I had planned for the guests.

I made appetizers: shrimp cocktail and pretzel crackers with extra sharp cheddar cheese. I made an enormous bowl of San Gria (which came out waaaay better than I expected) and I planned on ordering pizza for the night. However, I ordered the pizza online at Papajohns.com

and the order seemed fine. Almost an hour later I get an email on my BlackBerry telling me that my order had been cancelled. But get this...they still charged me and told me that they weren't going to notify my bank. I'm gonna call Sassy/Robber John's about my order tomorrow or I'm going to sue them. Besides that I connected my PS3 to the living room television and altered the audio input so everyone could hear music, instead of the game. In addition to this, I even moved furniture around and decorated the entire house. But my New York friends are dicks. I must apologize though to Corey and Anthony. Anthony was actually the only person that showed up and partied with me. (Love you Anthony.) Corey informed me that she couldn't party with me the day before the party (which is acceptable). Thank you for being my true friends. However, my friend Aaron is an incomplete asshole.

Aaron and the rest of my New York friends
When I first went off to college and came back to hang out with my friends, I realized that my best friend Aaron had "moved on" to a new best friend: Reggie. It sucks to find out your best friend doesn't love you as much as you love them, just because you went off to better yourself at college.

What baffles me though is what he did tonight. He decided to hang out with Reggie today because tonight was Reggie's last night in NY for a couple weeks. Wait a minute...am I confused or am I not away (in CT) at school for most of the year? I mean I was throwing a party (where everything and more is free) and Reggie just wanted to go to a club (where everything isn't free and is totally overpriced on New Year's Eve). But the thing is they didn't even go to a club. My "friends" (Aaron, Reggie and Jennifer) all split up to go home to their families around 10:30pm...and didn't call me. It's really f%^ked up! I hate them. I really hate them. I know "hate" is such a selfish and powerful word but I hate them. They are cut off. I cannot have dead weight friends on my mind when I become famous. They are going to regret doing this to me tonight. (Woooooooohuh, had to get that off my chest.) I still love Corey, Anthony and all my college friends lol.



Nick
Unfortunately (as predicted) Nick and I are no longer together. This time I think its best we don't become a couple again. We're perfect for each other (only in the bedroom). Out of the bedroom we're always fighting and (I'm sorry that I'm shallow)


he's soooooooo short. I'm 5' 9.5" and he's like 5' 5". However, height was towered by "love." If we didn't have to leave the bedroom we'd be soulmates. But the world isn't a mattress.




But the good thing is this gives me a chance to acknowledge the past and embrace the future. It sucks that I'm entering 2009 without a boyfriend and without my best friend but guess what? This is my life and I can alter it anyway I please. I love my life and nothing's going to stop me from doing so. With that being said let's get to the quote of the day for Jan 1st, 2009:



"If it seems you've lost everything, don't fret. A fresh start can dramatically change your life. It's up to you, how this change will affect your life. Don't be afraid of your life; it's yours to create and influence. Start anew with a positive attitude and beautiful things will come."


I can't believe it's 2009 already. In one year I'll be out of college. AAAAHHHHHH. Oh! I got my BlackBerry Storm by the way. I named it Blackbird, Blackbird Storm. Here's a pic I took within an hour of getting Blackbird.


Look at the clarity of Blackbird's camera. LOL. Like I said, beautiful things come if you venture into new territory with a positive attitude. I love you all and I wish you the best of happiness in 2009...and decades to come. Stay true pretties.



Peace, love & Obama,
